From the reviews
I've been training at HMC Jiu Jitsu since 2014. You would be hard pressed to find a more welcoming environment filled with serious jiu jitsu students in Hawaii. Everyone is friendly and helpful, and will go out of the way to help new students with technique and drills.
I've been training at HMC for about a year now, everyone has been super friendly and helpful. Since I started training I've lost about 25 pounds and that's from jiu jitsu alone. RK the coach is very knowledgeable and patient, he will go over positions with me when I have questions.
I have been training here for almost 15 years and have been involved in martial arts for over 30 years. I’ve met countless martial artists, both students and instructors, and the people here at HMC are some the nicest I’ve come in contact with.
I am currently visiting from the mainland and asked Jiu Jitsu Honolulu if I could train with them for the week (I am getting ready for my first tournament). Nyza was extremely welcoming. His instruction is very precise but he is incredibly patient with me, a newbie.
Your first muay thai class at Hawaii Martial Arts Center (HMC) Academy
Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
